Suppliers

We represent top professional photographers and agencies from around the world

We pride ourselves on strong relationships with our team of loyal photographers and aim to
bring out the best in each supplier's work. If you are interested in becoming a Rex supplier
please tell us a little more about yourself in the form and we'll get right back to you.

Caption/Description: A caption for that individual image within the set. It might be the name of the person pictured
or a description of what is taking place in that individual image. Please do not add any other info; your name, date etc. to this field.

If the set is Exclusive, has published already, or if you wish to notify us of anything else please use the Special Instructions field.

Please type all content in mixed case.

Stock and Archive submissions

If you regularly produce commercially useful images to a professional standard we'd be happy to
see them with a view to representing them in the marketplace. Rex makes a very straightforward
split of revenues and takes this reciprocal relationship with our suppliers very seriously.

In the first instance please fill out the form and take a look at the requirements we have
for filing material with us.

This equally applies to people in a position to make larger collections of images available for
licensing and we'd be happy to talk about the best way forward with regard to metadata.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Requirements

We require any Model Release information to be included in the IPTC metadata. If it is not we
will assume the image has no Model Release and it will be considered as such.

We are happy to see manipulated images and montages but this fact must be stated in the IPTC
metadata and is the supplier's responsibility.

We do not have a minimum file size as we do not want to receive interpolated files, but we do
want to receive files at the maximum size the DSLR can output.

The files are unlikely to look their best straight from the camera and should be reasonably
'printed in' and presentation ready but files that are oversaturated or have too much contrast
('blown' highlights) will probably not be of use to us. (While we require jpeg submissions, we
strongly recommend shooting in the camera's native RAW format and saving the corrected files as
low compression jpegs for submission.)

Files can be supplied by ftp drop off to our server, by ftp pickup (but not from web based
clouds) or they can be sent in on a disc.

Completing IPTC Fields for 'Stock' images

Date Created: This should be the date the camera took the picture. This is the date which will
be used. Make sure it is not overwritten as the 'date modified' or 'date saved' in the jpeg file.

Headline: This should be a broad, inclusive group description of the pictures being submitted.
For example, 'Tunisia' or 'Office Job'. Do not put information in here that is specific to each particular
image as it will be overwritten. If the images are not suited to this type of grouping then just put 'Stock'
or leave the Headline blank.

Caption/Description: This should be a description of the image and what it contains. 'An empty
refrigerator with the door open and the light on'. If the image has model release this should also be
stated here. 'Young woman kneeling down to look inside an empty refrigerator with the door open and the
light on - Model released'.

Keywords: We are happy to see keywords so long as they are helpful search terms and do not list things
which are inappropriate to the image and would confuse other search results. In our example we would
probably accept 'Midnight - Snack - Snacks - Snacking', and alternative terms, like 'Fridge'. Do not
put too many keywords as we will have to remove all keywords if there are too many unhelpful ones and
the main terms should already be in the caption.
